Vitamin AD (250 ml)

Vitamin A and D3 Injectable Supplement for Livestock

Product Description

Vitamin AD Injectable Solution is a prescription sterile injectable that veterinarians use as a supplemental source of Vitamins A and D3 in cattle, sheep, and swine. It is indicated for the prevention and correction of Vitamin A and D deficiencies in livestock at risk due to poor forage quality, inadequate dietary intake, or limited sunlight exposure. Vitamin E is included as an antioxidant stabilizer to protect both the formulation and the animal's tissues. Your veterinarian will assess deficiency before recommending this product.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Do Not Inject Near Market Date: Do not inject meat animals within 60 days of marketing, as withdrawal period compliance is required for food safety regulations.
• Avoid in Well-Nourished Animals: Giving this product to animals without a confirmed deficiency can cause dangerous elevations in blood calcium that seriously harm the animal.
• California Prop 65 Warning: This product contains N-methylpyrrolidone and Retinol, substances recognised under California Prop 65 as harmful to reproductive health and fetal development.
• Allergic Reaction Risk: Allergic reactions can occur after injection; epinephrine and antihistamines should be readily available before administering this product to any animal.
• Do Not Dilute: Adding water to this solution before use breaks down the emulsifiable formulation and renders the product unsuitable for administration.

Possible Side Effects

• Hypervitaminosis D and Hypercalcemia: Over-supplementation with Vitamin D3 can push blood calcium to dangerous levels, causing serious harm to affected livestock animals.
• Injection Site Reactions: Localised swelling, tissue irritation, or abscess formation at the injection site may occasionally develop and should be monitored closely.
• Anaphylactic Reactions: Serious systemic allergic reactions including collapse or breathing difficulty are rare but require immediate emergency treatment with epinephrine.

Storage Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What conditions does Vitamin AD injection treat in livestock?

Ans: Vitamin AD injection is used to prevent and correct Vitamin A and D3 deficiencies in cattle, sheep, and swine. It is most relevant for animals on poor-quality forage, restricted diets, or with limited access to sunlight that cannot maintain healthy vitamin levels on their own. Your vet will confirm whether deficiency is present before recommending injectable supplementation.

Q2: Why should Vitamin AD injection not be given to well-nourished animals?

Ans: Animals that are already getting enough Vitamin A and D through their diet do not need additional supplementation, and giving them this product anyway can push calcium levels in the blood to a harmful degree. The resulting condition can cause tissue damage and serious health complications in affected livestock. This product should only ever be used when deficiency is confirmed or genuinely suspected under veterinary guidance.

Q3: Why must Vitamin AD injection not be given within 60 days of slaughter?

Ans: The fat-soluble vitamins in this product accumulate in animal tissues and take time to work their way out of the body before the animal is safe to enter the food supply. Administering this product too close to slaughter risks leaving residue levels in the meat that do not meet food safety standards. The withdrawal period must always be observed strictly whenever this product is used in animals raised for food.

Q4: How frequently can Vitamin AD injection be repeated in cattle and sheep?

Ans: The appropriate interval between injections depends on the severity of the deficiency, the animal's diet, forage quality, and how much sunlight they are getting. Repeating injections without a clear clinical reason risks pushing vitamin levels too high, which brings its own set of health problems. Your vet will determine the right schedule based on your herd's specific nutritional situation.

Q5: What should be done if an anaphylactic reaction occurs after administering Vitamin AD injection?

Ans: Signs like sudden collapse, laboured breathing, severe agitation, or rapid swelling after injection need to be acted on straight away with an epinephrine injection and an immediate call to your vet. These reactions are uncommon but can escalate quickly without prompt intervention. Having epinephrine on hand before administering any injectable product to livestock is a basic but important precaution.
